Portfolio Packets:

Students this year have recieved a portfolio packet. These packets are going to be given out per trimester. These are the students workbooks and information packets. It is the students responsibility to finish the assigned material in a timely fashion. It is also the students responsibility to bring them to class (grades 5-8 only, K-4 are in my classroom). Once the trimester has ended and portfolios grades, the students will take them home for good.

Portfolios are graded and each student must have a porfolio to turn in for a grade.

If the portfolio packet is lost. There are two options. Option 1 is to pay for another portfolio packet to replace the one lost. Option 2 is to send in a jump drive or burnable CD to download a copy and you can print out a copy yourself.

Trimester 1 replacement portfolios are $3.00 each.

Latin

History of Latin Language (notes): Quiz- Oct. 13-20 (closed notes)

* Latin is over 3000 years old.
* Originated in a region called Latium (Italy today) in a village called Alba Longa.
* The people who spoke the language were a conquering people. They were farmers, hunters, fishermen, shepherds, and warriors. The people wanted to protect themselves. They went out and expanded their lands and people.
* The lands grew so big; the prince of the people (Romulus) decided to make a central city called Roma (today- Rome).
* The language was officialized in Roma.
* The Roman Empire grew out of this area and people. The language was taken everywhere the Roman Empire expanded to: as far North as Belgium; West as far as Portugal and U.K.; as far East as Belarus, Armenia, Middle East (Iraq, Kuwaiti, and Saudi Arabia); as far south as northern South America. (Know some countries of today where the language spread to because of the Roman Empire.)
* The language became the language of the Catholic Church and is still spoken in the Church today.

This conversation should have been written in class (finished for homework if not done). Grades 2-3 have done one as a class. The student will be graded on pronunciation correctness. Please help students at home to be ready. I will start pulling students in class in the next couple of rotations.

Wow, what a lot of info. I do want to point out that I have not recieved my supplies from the parents yet for my room. I have recieve a little bit, but no means as much as I should have. Unfortunately, this will reflect on the things (types of activities) that we will be able to do in Spanish. If you are wondering about what supplies, please read the blog for September and the Parent supply list for Foreign Language on the PCA website.


Well, I think that is about it. Any questions or concerns, please email or call (Ext.207).
Hasta aproxima vez!!!!!
